Blind Guardian - The Martyr

He was born in the past time
To take all our pain
The Kingdom of Heaven's near

The children of this time
Must die for His arrive
To let all the legends be true

Prophecy says that the they'll call King of the Jews
He is born now to take all our sins
Three kings were searching for this holy child
Journey begins, He has to die

Healing the cripples and taking our pain
He came for the sinner but what we have said
Disciples are following, they are calling His words
Salt of the earth and light of the world

Martyr, we are following You
Bless us for eternity
Messiah, we are torturing You
When You lose the power of Your words

Jump from the temple and angel will save
Show me that you are the Son of our God
Now take my land with my power you get
Rulin' the world of tomorrow
Now!

Messiah, liar, burning desire
He is the King without a crown
We'll set Him to His throne
Give me 30 p. of silver and I'll be your man

Higher, liar, the fallen Messiah
Let us see His agony
The things He done are blasphemy
Mob has lost their joy on toy,
So let us kill Him fast

Now drink My blood for the New Testament
This is My body you eat
One of you twelve is the one who betrays
Better that he's never born

Judas, you're the chosen one
The world has damned your name

Begin with a kiss, at a cross it will end
The Kingdom of Heaven, we've passed
The sky will turn black and the curtain will fall
The Father's crying for His Son

The tortured Messiah is finding the way
The journey has come to the end
The twelve ones are preaching the words He'd left
They're changing the way of the world, die for

Martyr, we are following You
Bless us for eternity
Messiah, we are torturing You
When You lose the power of Your words

Martyr, we are following You
Bless us for eternity
